Learner safety

A safe space to learn and ask questions.

BRANAL Maths aims to make every tutoring interaction respectful, professional, age-appropriate, and focused on learning.

Every learner should feel safe

Students can ask questions without embarrassment, set appropriate boundaries, and raise a concern with a trusted adult at any time.

Appropriate oversight

Parents or guardians should know when a learner under 18 has a lesson and how the tutoring service is being used.

Professional boundaries

Tutoring communication stays relevant to learning, bookings, progress, or account support and uses agreed contact channels.

Speak up early

A student will never be criticised for telling a parent, guardian, tutor, or other trusted adult that something feels wrong.

Online lesson expectations

  • Lessons take place at agreed times using agreed channels.
  • Students should join from a suitable shared or study space whenever reasonably possible.
  • Lessons, screenshots, or private conversations must not be recorded or shared without appropriate consent.
  • Tutors and students should not request unnecessary personal information from one another.
  • A tutor should never ask a learner to keep tutoring communication secret from a parent or guardian.

Raising a concern

A learner should tell a parent, guardian, or trusted adult as soon as possible. The concern can also be raised with BRANAL Maths through the Contact page. Account access can be suspended while a concern is reviewed.

If someone is in immediate danger, contact the local emergency services or an appropriate local safeguarding authority straight away. Do not wait for a reply through the website.

How concerns are handled

BRANAL Maths will listen, record only the information needed, protect privacy where possible, and take proportionate action. Information may be shared with a parent, guardian, service provider, or appropriate authority when necessary to protect a learner or meet a legal duty.
